I also don't wear cologne anymore - mainly because I've been married for nearly 24 years and have lived with my wife for nearly 28 years, and over the years my wife for some reason has almost completely lost her sense of smell. That can be dangerous - once she accidently hit one of the burner knobs on the stove and unknowingly turned the gas on, and later I walked in to an overpowering gas stench and her sitting on the couch smoking a cigarette. Probably both came close to getting blown to bits that day, but I digress. The benefit is she can't smell cologne, so there's little point in me wearing it. Plus, I'm old, fat and bald, and it's not like I'm going to impress anybody no matter what sort of exotic scent I'm wearing. So I just stick with aftershave, after I shave, and wear something that I like, mainly Clubman Pinaud, which has a nice, clean, old time barbershop smell. Yeah, yeah, get off my lawn.
